I have several transactions in uncategorized income. How do I reclassify them?

I have a number of transactions in uncategorized income. When I look at each transaction, they all have a proper product associated with them. When I try and edit them, I don't have the option to move them to the proper income account.

Hello, tlenzmeier. 

 

Thank you for reaching out to the Community. I'd be glad to share more info about Uncategorized income in QBO.  

 

The Uncategorized Income account is created by QuickBooks automatically when QBO can’t figure out how to categorize the transaction. So, if you see Uncategorized Income you can correct it by selecting the appropriate category or account from your chart of accounts. 

 

Here's how:  

 

  1. Go to the Accounting menu, and select Chart of Accounts.
  2. On the Filter by name box, type Uncategorized Income.
  3. Choose the transactions that you'll want to run.
  4. From the Action column, click the drop-down arrow.
  5. Tap Edit.
  6. From the Account window, you can now change it to the correct account.
  7. Click Save and Close. 

 

I've also added this article about categorizing transactions in QBO: Categorize and match online bank transactions

 

Let me know if you have other questions. Stay safe!

If I go to Chart of Accounts and navigate to Uncategorized Income, I can either run a quick report or edit the actual account or render it inactive. If I run the quick report, I get a listing of the transactions. Regardless of which hyperlink/quick-link I choose, the sales receipt screen appears. I have confirmed that the product/service is mapped to the correct income account. Even if I reselect the product/service, nothing changes.

This method does work for anyone encountering this. What they forgot to mention is that you will be asked to merge the account you are editing to an existing one once you input the same account information and account name where you want the transactions to move to.
